Reactionary Party of Krakow

The Reactionary Party was a reactionary political party in the Republic of Krakow that was active from 1815 to 1846. The party was founded by the cautious supporters of the client state status of the republic, who feared that liberal reforms would inevitably lead to Krakow losing its "free city" status. The Reactionary Party also advocated for a state-run, closed economy, sought to preserve the secular influence of the Catholic Church, opposed granting rights to Jews and Ukrainians, and supported infinite military spending. The party was the smallest party in the republic, with only 10.2% of the electorate supporting the party as of 1836. It dissolved in 1846 after the Austrian Empire annexed Krakow.
